Once Performance Stock Units (PSUs) vest and the underlying stock is received by the employee, the tax treatment is exactly the same as Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). I recommend that you do not import the Form 1099-B for any company stock sale, and instead enter it manually. For the PSUs, just like RSUs, when the stock is issued it is a taxable event. The value of the stock on that day is considered earned income. It is subject to income and payroll tax withholding and is included in you box 1 of your W-2. That amount is your total cost basis. When you sell PSUs or RSUs, Brokers almost always report the wrong cost basis on Form 1099-B, so it has to be adjusted after entering the transaction.
